Comments: Looking for anyone who served with me during this time. Memory not to good with names but certainly remember battles. Love to talk. I was seriously burned during an AmphTrac explosion in Inchon, then sent to the hospital ship. Doctors say this may have caused my problems. Although I have many scars all over my body and serious vascular problems for many years, VA says no proof because no records were documented. Imjin,Liberty Bridge,Inchon
